We have had gerbils (one who had 3 broken legs) only take about 3-4 weeks till they were walking with barely any limp at all........ >I actually just got a > comment from a coworker on how gerbils were strange pet to have (unless you > are six years old.) We are both 27 and have no children or other pets. > Does anyone else encounter this type of comment? Aaron, my boyfriend, and I both hear this quite often (he is 26 and I am 24). I even have to admit that when he told me that he wanted gerbils that I thought "isn't that a pet for a little kid?". I admit now that gerbils are an awesome pet for someone of any age. I just wish that ppl realized that gerbils are good for anyone and everyone who wants a pet :) Heather (and the 27 gerbils who make up the CowBer Clan)
